This is the "smart HDR" option on an iPhone, described as "In difficult lighting, the best parts of multiple exposures are combined into a single image".

So there is the middle ground of disabling this. Or, alternatively, just not caring about such an error once in a million shots.

(as an aside, I'm pretty sure the structure of the leaves is responsible for this error, as it's an area with usually many strong edges in a somewhat repetitive pattern. That invites misalignments.

Yeah. If I tap "Selfie" on my stock Android 11, I can see my face being smoothed out. I can tell that it is modified. If I have an issue with it, I can disable it. :)
